3 Mtr Glider. Dual Control Wings

I just need to verify I am going about this correctly. The wings have flaps and ailerons with their own respective servos. The flaps are 60 % of wing span and the ailerons 30%. I have allocated a channel to each servo. In normal flight the flaps are required to move in unison with ailerons. ie; flaps are slaved to ailerons. When the flap switch is used the flaps should become flaps and ignore the aileron signals. As the flaps are slaved is the latter comment correct?

This takes up four channels, so allowing for elevator, rudder and possibly later a motor that makes 7 channels used. Tx is JR DSX 9.

Hi Phil - see DSX9 manual page 121 - programming a 6 channel sailplane. As a pre-requisite i suggest you activate / programme flight modes which will allow you to pre set different set ups for bungee / soaring / landing etc. If you haven't got the manual i can e mail it to you.

Thanks for info Kevin. Just took a look at that section. Mind boggling! But will try and fathom out their guide. Appears on the surface as a bit complicated.

...It is complicated, Phil. Yes, you can do what you originally describe, but then you are not utilising the advantage of 4 servos in the wing. Persevere with the description in the manual and you'll end up with a much better setup.

Ditto Mikes comments.
I'm only a stones throw from Christchurch and could be free Sunday AM if you want me to work through the process with you. - Just let me know.

Thanks Kevin. Maybe another weekend assuming the two "backorder" slim wing servos turn up.
